Default Greggs to pay £7m to workers after 'exceptional' year
[Greggs to pay £7m to workers after 'exceptional'
year boosted by vegan ranges
Greggs announced the bonus of
up to £300 each for staff as
latest sales figures showed "a strong
finish to an exceptional year".]


[Greggs, which has more than 2,000
shops across the UK and employs
about 25,000 people,
said like-for-like sales in
company-managed stores
rose by 9.2% in the year to 28 December.]

I read there are more Greggs shops in the UK now than there are McDonalds. Good to see them doing well. If I go into Greggs I'm always struck by how nice and friendly the staff are.

Piers Morgan probably gave them so much publicity and they didn't have to spend a single penny on it.

I really dislike Greggs, my local independant bakery is far superior, but great they are sharing the profits with staff

Pretend you got food poisoning and sue them - you can't reheat and sell food after hot-holding it (the things they keep them under to keep them hot the first time).

I got SO much free food when I worked in a kitchen because things that are still in hot-hold at the end of the night have to get binned .
